IF you’ve put a lot of time or money into the Switch version of Pokemon Quest, you won’t be hopping over to the phone version in a hurry.

Pokemon Quest is the latest Pokemon spin-off, and it’s already been hugely successful on Switch, with the free-to-play, cute, blocky-styled Pokemon game already racking up well over a million downloads on that platform. After a month of Switch exclusivity, Pokemon Quest is now out on mobile via Android and iOS devices – but if you change platform, you won’t be taking your save data with you.

No, you can’t transfer your Pokemon Quest data from Switch to mobile

Pokemon Quest Data Transfer is impossible: no link between iOS, Android and Switch

We’re mainly putting this story up as a bit of a PSA to those about to start Pokemon Quest on mobile and those who might be potentially confused about bringing their save data over. So, this is the bad news: you can’t. Pokemon Quest data is either Switch or Mobile – and the two can’t be ported.

That means Switch owners can’t transfer their Pokemon Quest data to iOS or Android or continue playing on their phones – and the reverse is true if you get addicted to Quest and fancy playing it on your TV at home via Switch. It’s not possible.

This seems like a bit of a mistake, to be honest – Pokemon Quest has some fairly expensive (comparatively speaking) micro-transactions it’d make sense to let players take with them, and it’s also an absolutely ideal game for mobile – but this is what Nintendo has decided.

If this means you’re being forced to start fresh on Mobile or if you’re a complete newcomer, be sure to check out some of our useful Pokemon Quest guides. We’ve broken down the Pokemon Quest cooking mechanic, Eevee Evolution and how to catch Legendary Pokemon – and we’re adding more to our Pokemon Quest guide hub daily – so keep checking back!
